We are saddened by the recent passing of Bob Ward. 

Bob represented anglers from southern Tasmania as an Associate Commissioner on the Inland Fisheries Commission from 1990 to 1999.  Bob was well known around the regional angling clubs where he attended meetings regularly. 

He was a life member of the Bridgewater and Southern Tasmania Licenced Angler Association where he was also patron. Bob was inducted into the Tasmanian Angling Hall of Fame in 2015.

Bob was naturally a keen angler and had a shack at Tods Corner, yingina/Great Lake. He was a friend to many at the Inland Fisheries Service.
